Mission: 

Provide affordable energy resources while maximizing conservation 

conservation. 

Goals: 

Continue to review energy prices and long term contract options. 

Work with all Town Departments to improve energy conservation. 

Look for grants and alternative revenue to purchase products that reduce emissions and energy use use. 

Staffing: 

No Staff are paid directly out of the energy budget. 







The Municipal Energy Division of the Department of Public Works was first implemented for the FY2008 

Budget. This allows for energy cost monitoring for the Town of Natick. These costs consist of electricity, 

heating fuel oil, natural gas, diesel, unleaded gasoline, all metered traffic and school signals, public safety 

spotlights, town clocks, street lights and holiday lights. 


Signed a new street light maintenance contract with Wilmington Wiring, Inc. 

Extended our electricty supply contract with Transcanada 

Implementation of a comprehensive energy audit throughout the town. 

III III. Current Challenges 

Energy cost fluctuations. 

Lack of stability makes the budget process very difficult. 

Review energy use and find ways to conserve. 


Implementing the LED street light program. 


Continue to search for alternative energy sources and vehicles.

Department: Public Works Division: Land, Facilities & Natural Resources 


Department of Public Works Land Facilities and Natural Resources 

Main Purpose of the Department 

The Land Facilities and Natural Resources Division are responsible for the maintenance of over sixty sites which 

comprise more than seventy acres acres. Of these seventy acres acres, fifty fifty‐three three and one one‐half half acres are mowed by a 

contractor and the remaining acres are mowed by the division. The Division maintains twenty‐one 

baseball/softball fields, eight tennis courts, nine basketball courts, sixteen playgrounds, the high school track 

and Memorial Beach. The division is responsible for aerating, seeding and fertilizing all fields as well as field 

lining for all sports. The Division also maintains eleven automatic irrigation systems. The division is responsible 

for the care and maintenance of all public shade trees, grinding stumps, cutting brush and pruning and 

removing trees. We are responsible for all public grounds and share the responsibility for roadside brush 

maintenance with the highway division. 

Recent Developments 

Continued maintenance and upgrade of multiple recreation areas throughout the town. 

Completed drainage improvements at the Memorial School ball fields. 

Continuation of improvements at the Mahan baseball field. 

Current Challenges 

Implementation of the Vegetation Management Plan to address issues such as roadside poison ivy and other 

noxious weeds. 

Continue to provide proper maintenance to the athletic fields, parks and playgrounds in order to keep them in 

a safe and excellent condition. 

Continue to rebuild various sites that have been in disrepair over the last several years. 

Upgrade our irrigation systems to include metering and computerization to allow operation from one central 

location to reduce water use. 

The division is currently handicapped by the loss two staff members and the reduction of funds during the 

FY2010 budget process. 

Significant Proposed Changes for the Upcoming Fiscal Year and Budget Impact 

A recent decision by the Attorney General requires all tree work to be completed under MGL Ch 30 39M. This 

requires contractors to pay prevailing wage wage, and post additional bonds bonds.This This budget will allow the division to 

complete most of the anticipated maintenance tasks. Stump grinding, tree service operations, and 

maintenance projects will be prioritized and completed according to need. 

On the Horizon 

There are other projects in the planning stages in the high school area that are on hold for the time being until 

a site is confirmed for the new high school that is on the horizon. 

A town‐wide review of all land facilities focusing on clean‐up, beautification, and community involvement.
